The motto of Florida is “In God We Trust,” which is one of the best, but the .one adopted by Michigan, is also very appro- priate for Florida. It is: “Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam, Circumspice.” (If Thou Seekest a Beautiful Peninsu'a, Be- hold It Here.)

While many | } of the schemes are but phantasies, never- | theless many successful businessmen are } seriously experimenting with new kinds of , money to lubrieate ‘their local credit wet tems. Some are solving their problems through the use of serip and the founda- ociations. i The Jcnuary $ issue of Time notes the | following examples: j In Evanston, Ill., city employes re- ceived their pay in the form of “Eirma” money, named from the initials of the Evanston Independent Retail Merchants’ Association. Merchants agreed to accept the paper at face value. Every time a scrip dollar changes hands, the receiver sticks on it a 2c stamp, bought from the | Merchants’ Association. When the vack of an Eirma biil has been covered with 50} stamps, it can be redeemed in U. S. coin. Merchants who have bought stamps will be credited with the amount in tax antic- ipation warrants. Milwa ee and Chicago. pondered following Evanston’s lead. In Washington, brave little Tenino’s celebrated wooden money experiment! came to a glorious close, thanks to the nation’s numismatists. When Tenino’s one and only bank failed last year, “ub™sher Donald M. Major and a group ox pubiic- spirited men thought up a plau to keep some kind of currency circulating in the town. They issued to each depositor ply- wood certificates val. d at 75 per cent of his bank deposit. Gradually the ank’s affairs were settled. Last week Tenino bought in its wooden money with U. S&S. money, found that it had $3,500 left over. Three months ago at Hawarden, Iowa, 300 red-white-and-green certificates were put in circulation by the city. The Hawarden scrip was issued along lines similar to that of Evanston, but it had 36 places on the back to stick 3c stamps, thus assuring the city an 8c profit per dolar on vedemption. Anaheim, one of the oldest towns in California, tried issuing scrip last winter. The amateur financiers of Anaheim used 4c stamps on their currency, followed the Evanston plan in the main but neglected one step: making a tax certificate refund to merchants. Result: Puzzled merchants found themselves accepting scrip, buying stamps, but not getting anything back to pay for merchandise sold. The plan was actually a 4 per cent sales tax. The U.S. government holds a monop- oly on making legal tender. But up to last week the Department of Justice had made no move to suppress local home-made money, regarding serip as not being legal tender since no one is obliged to accept it. WHAT IS A UTILITY WORTH? During the last few years the public has heard much of utility valuation. A long and chaotic battle has been fought be- tween two schools of thought—those favor- ing “reproduction cost” as the proper basis, and those favoring actual original cost. Recent events have shown fallacies in both arguments. In a period of ascending prices—as, for example, between 1922 and 1929-—the reproduction th®ry of the value works to the advantage of the utility, in- asmuch as the replacement of plants, power lines, generating stations and other facil- ities would cost considerably more than they originally cost. In descending values—as between 1930 and the present—reproduction value is THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Daily Crea arvord Puzzle Sese2.0 AURCSS 1, Maiden 5. Append 8.
